The No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders picked up a huge win in Tucson over the weekend and now return to the state to face the Arizona State Sun Devils.
The Red Raiders are rolling, but my Texas Tech vs. Arizona State predictions fade them tonight.
Here are my best free college basketball picks for this Big 12 clash on February 17.
Texas Tech vs Arizona State prediction
Texas Tech vs Arizona State best bet: Arizona State +8 (-110)
This is a classic letdown spot for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are coming off an overtime upset win against former No. 1 Arizona.
The Red Raiders have knocked off some elite teams this season but have also played down to their competition, going 7-10 ATS when favored by more than a possession.
They're 145th in the country in turnover rate on the road (17%), and the Arizona State Sun Devils rank 65th in opponent TO rate (19.1%).
With the Sun Devils going 5-1 ATS in their last six games, back them to cover tonight.

Texas Tech vs Arizona State same-game parlay
Texas Tech hasn't allowed more than 66 points in regulation in its last four games, and is 17th in the country in opponent eFG% (43.3%) during that span. Meanwhile, ASU has an eFG% of just 45.5% over its last four and has slowed down its tempo.
One of the Sun Devils' biggest flaws has been rebounding, so they'll need a strong effort from Santiago Trouet on the glass if they want to cover. The 6-foot-11 forward is coming off a 10-board performance against Oklahoma State and had big rebounding games against Arizona and Gonzaga.
